There is no winter that prevents flowers from blooming in spring. The idea of photographing the retirement home in Troia (Italy) stems from the desire to tell the need for affection of those who always have a heart in bloom. The body grows old but love never dies! They travel through the memories on which love has placed its mark. They are eyes that hope to see someone who will visit them and warm their hearts. There is still so much love that they can generate and can rejuvenate in the face of love. Let us not leave them alone at the end of the day, but let us illuminate their midnight
